   And yet more proof (not that it's needed) from the review of the DVD /   
   Blu-ray release ...   
      
       "Although set 30 years after the event of Return of   
        the Jedi, narrative similarities with A New Hope   
        are unavoidable ..."   
      
   Narrative similarities = polite way of saying rip-off.   
      
   Ripping off the original movie(s) certainly wasn't "unavoidable",   
   except when you hire a talentless git to be in charge of making a lazy   
   reboot.
